SEEC calls for increased clean energy incentives, paid for by repealing oil & gas tax subsidies

May 5, 2010

Members of the Sustainable Energy & Environment Coalition today senta letter (see file at bottom of page) to House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Rep. Sander Levin (D-MI), and Ranking Member Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI), calling for legislative action to provide incentives to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency.

The letter states that "As your Committee considers legislation to provide targeted support for production of American energy resources, we urge you to support policies that will spur investments in clean, home-grown energy that will provide clean energy jobs for Americans. We feel that these investments should be paid for, and support the President’s proposal to repeal expensive and unnecessary oil and gas subsidies. In addition, in order to keep the cost of the bill down, we urge you to oppose extension of tax incentives for outdated, carbon-intensive energy resources and heavy-polluting industries."
